Ingredients
- Dried flowers: Choose fully dry flowers sized to fit the jar.
- Resin or wax: Prepare according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Glass jar: Select a clean jar with enough room for the intended candle.
Instructions
- Choose your flowers and jar. Gather the dried flowers and select a glass jar for the candle holder. Ensure the flowers fit inside and that the jar has room for the candle you plan to use.
- Prepare the resin or wax. Follow the product manufacturer’s instructions for preparing your chosen material.
- Arrange the flowers. Place the dried flowers inside the jar in your desired design. Check the arrangement from different angles before pouring.
- Pour carefully. Slowly pour the prepared resin or wax over the flowers to encase them, working carefully to avoid disturbing the arrangement.
- Let it set completely. Leave the jar undisturbed while the resin cures or the wax hardens. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine when it is fully set.
- Add the candle. Once the resin or wax has completely cured or hardened, place a candle inside the jar. The pressed flower candle holder is now ready to display.
Notes
Check the instructions and safety guidance supplied with your resin or wax before starting. Ensure the materials are appropriate for each other.
